Query Builder for Alaska's Child Protective Services Query Module - Substantiated Counts of Physical Abuse by Victim. Substantiations are Screen-Ins in which OCS has concluded that the allegation of maltreatment or risk of maltreatement was supported or founded by State law or policy.

Overview

Overview

The Office of Children's Services child maltreatment data have been compiled by the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, Section of Women's, Children's, and Family Health, Maternal and Child Health Epidemiology Unit. Data are available by counts of unique children reported by year, counts of all reports by year, and rates of unique children reported by year. Rates are calculated using Alaska Department of Labor population estimates for the denominator.
Counts and rates are available for 'Reports', 'Screen-ins', and 'Substantiations'. Reports include all Protective Services Reports (PSR) made to OCS. Screen-Ins are reports that OCS determines constitute a potential threat to child safety, an assessment is completed for these reports. Substantiations are Screen-Ins in which OCS has concluded that the allegation of maltreatment or risk of maltreatment was supported or founded by State law or policy. This is the highest level of finding by OCS. Years and age ranges are based on date of incident.
Data includes counts of unique children by year. Children may be reported multiple times when aggregating years.
Please contact Jared Parrish for questions about the OCS data query.

Step 5: How to display the data

Display By (category)

Primary group by field

Defines the data's primary grouping dimension. The
primary grouping is required and also controls the
ordering of the result's data rows. In MS-Excel
and other graphing packages this is typically referred
to as the the "dataset's category". If viewing in a 2-d
table layout then this value/dimension is associated
with table's "row" values. Others will refer to this
value as the first "cross by" or the first dimension.

Group By (series)

Optional secondary group by field

Defines the 2nd field (or dimension) to be used to group
and aggregate values by. MS-Excel chart users will
commonly refer to this as the dataset's "series"
field. If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this
field is associated with data table's value columns.
Series group bys are optional. Maps and some charts,
like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to
handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g.
they only work with the primary category type group
by being specified.

Chart

Optional chart graph

Defines the optional chart graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are
currently not programmed to handle datasets that have
more than one group by e.g. they only work with the
primary category type group by being specified. All
other charts will only work with a maximum of 2 group
bys e.g. if the fixed group by exists then the series
group by can NOT be used with charting or maps.

Map

Optional map graph

Defines the optional map graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps are only available when the category is
set to a geographical area and does not have a series
defined.

Primary Measure

Available Measures

Defines the primary measure value to display in the map and graph.
